PETE HEGSETH’S HALFTIME FIRESTORM
The Announcement Sparks Outrage
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell named Bad Bunny as the 2026 Super Bowl halftime headliner, prompting immediate, polarized reactions.
Progressives praised the move as “inclusive, global, and reflective of America’s diversity,” while conservatives accused the NFL of disrespecting tradition.
Pete Hegseth’s Response
Fox News host Pete Hegseth called Bad Bunny a “Spanish-singing puppet of the Left” and said,
“The NFL has just declared war on America.”
He claimed the league was using the Super Bowl to push propaganda, sparking viral debate across social media.
Cultural Divide
Fans split sharply: some celebrated the choice as “revolutionary,”
while others posted #BoycottNFL and organized counter-events.
For conservatives, football is patriotic tradition; for progressives, it’s a global stage for diversity and expression.
Broader Implications
The controversy raises questions about the NFL’s cultural role, risks to ratings and sponsorships,
and the continuing clash between patriotism and modern cultural expression.
Hegseth’s warning: “This isn’t entertainment. This is indoctrination.”
